The mill is a rubble stone and frame construction. Myers Mill on Old Mill Road “S & G Mill” on Atlas. Owned by Tunis Myers/Myers, 62, miller, real estate worth $1300, personal property worth $300 in 1870 atlas.

It looks more like a house with multiple levels. Located on Old Mill Road, it began as a 100-acre lot and mill that was bequeathed by William Rittenhouse (the first Rittenhouse to settle in Amwell) to his son Peter Rittenhouse in 1767. (The will added this to land on which Peter was already living.)

On the 1851 atlas it is identified as T. Miers Grist Mill. Peter was taxed on a sawmill and 206 acres in 1780 and 1790. Peter bequeathed it to his eldest son Elisha Rittenhouse in 1791, who added a gristmill. The water wheel was built by Theodore Holcombe of Quakertown.

It is also shown on the 1873 atlas, but the owner is not identified. After the death of Elisha Rittenhouse, his executors sold the mill lot of 7 acres to Tunis Myers in 1847. Myers ran the operation there, which included a distillery, until 1871. That year Anderson Bray took possession in partnership with William S. Cobb.

Bush wrote that Robert Holcombe was the miller there for many years, though he may not have owned the property. In 1906, J.M. Hoppock wrote that the mill was owned by Mrs. Mathias Pegg and it was still in working order, but had already been made unnecessary by technological advances. When Bush was writing (in 1931) the place was still known as “Holcombe’s Mill.”
